1948 Map of Oak Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Bourbeuse River winds through the northern hills of this rural landscape, marking a terrain defined by deep valleys and scattered family homesteads. Situated along the boundary of Gasconade and Crawford Counties, the area shows a decentralized settlement pattern typical of the Missouri Ozarks in the late 1940s. While Oak Hill serves as a small community hub, the map reveals a dense network of local landmarks that suggest a once-active rural social life, including numerous one-room schoolhouses like Taylor Sch and Bailey Sch. Genealogists will find significant value in the sixteen identified burial grounds, ranging from larger sites like Carr Cem to smaller family plots such as Loeb Cem and McWilliams Cem. An Airway Beacon in the northeast and the presence of Knobview in the south provide unique navigational and geographical context for this post-war survey.
